Back in September 2024, the club phased out the VHF-UHF Digest, a publication that goes way back to the early 1970s. Times have changed. DXing has changed; DX reporting has changed over the years to the point where a publication that has relied upon reception reports from its members no longer receives them.
The decision was made to drop the VUD, as it was fondly called by many club members, and create a smaller, stripped down version that was more in tune with today’s world of DXing. Line of Sight seemed an appropriate name, considering that much of FM DXing is built around the receptions of stations beyond the line of sight.
The new LIne of Sight now focuses mainly on FM DXing. TV DXing, like it or not, is becoming a thing of the past thanks to the analog shutdown in 2009, virtual channels, the vacating of most low VHF channels (Channels 2-6) and the elimination of all channels above channel 36 for broadcast use. We always welcome TV Dxers to the WTFDA and we value them, but supporting them with good, timely and reliable information isn’t that easy anymore.
So, you will now find the first six issues of Line of Sight here in our website. You can find the first six issues in the VUD archive. If you’re interested, go take a look.
